It is not a “millennial” thing. People often use “I feel” as a qualifier when they have less power than the person they are speaking to - and are afraid of being shut down or dismissed. Most often, I hear it when someone is speaking to their boss or someone who has more authority in the work place.

Rather than condemn millennials—and those, shall we say, contaminated by them—for shirking “responsibility” through discourse, let’s acknowledge our more pressing duty: to stop policing speech, and instead welcome the voices clamoring to be heard.

Hmm. Interesting. My boss recently told me that I come across as too aggressive, so in order to “make people want to work with me” I should hedge more. And the exact example she gave was: instead of saying “This is a problem” I should say “I feel like maybe this could be a problem.”

Oh God. WHAT ABOUT LANDS END...... YOU WONT TAKE THEIR RUGGED YET SOMEHOW NON THREATENING STYLE FROM ME...

I miss Hannibal. I have a feeling Hannibal would eat his racist cousin on principle.

As an biracial person, 100% of my relationships are interracial.

Laura Silverman also tweeted that these folks are probably just mad because they spent their last $5 on that word.

Today it's Old Navy. Tomorrow they could come for The Gap. We're through the looking glass here, white people.

I learned a new word today: miscegenation. Usually I feel smarter after learning a new word. Not today.

Yea when I read the “this is because you look like Shia LaBouef” I was like....what in the ACTUAL fuck is that nonsense

I think it was nice of Shia to call him. I mean, what can you say when some random person sustains a closed head injury because he looks like you?

I think this is a pretty classy move that doesn’t deserve snark.

I liked him in the Sia video too.

He seems pretty self aware which is cool.

It took me a while, but I like Shia. He won me over with that DO IT video, and when he livestreamed himself watching all of his movies.

Reading the comments here just made me see how shitty and hypocritical most of you fucks are. I think I might now be done with this site for good. Jesus people, heave a heart. Alzheimers and dementia is not something to joke about, no matter how awful the person suffering from it might have been. And the fact that he…

Because that would require people to be reasonable and intellectually consistency. Once you mention Reagan, I think lots of people here would excuse anything. You could probably get people to back the death penalty for his grandchildren, simply for being his grandchildren.

I mean, I fucking hate Reagan, but 1. I don’t blame his children for that, nor do I expect them to hate their father 2. I don’t think this project would do ANYTHING to take down Reagan mythology - it would either be preaching to the choir or fodder to ~outrage~ his conservative fan club. There are tons of substantive…

You can do that though without making fun of a disease that he and millions of others suffer(d) from. It’s like making fun of Charly Sheen for addiction. Plus it’s pretty easy to mock the man for things not related to his disease. That said I don’t particularly have an issue with comedy about anything. But it is…

I don’t know why I’m surprised to see so many people defending this movie here. You can despise every single thing about a person without being ableist, for fuck’s sake. This is no better than a right wing movie mocking FDR for being in a wheelchair.

I do think a movie about Reagan’s Alzheimer’s and how it affected the presidency would be fascinating but it would by no means be a comedy.
